Ok, so after hearing about the supply problems of Deltang and getting product from them I decided to try out the 'FlySky' that Si. suggested in his post on the Tam Valley thread.

I've got the the Tx and Rx. I also ordered an ESC from E-bay. Still awaiting for the battery and battery charger.

So, a question for Si. The ESC came without any instructions and I can't seem to find any on the Net by Googling. The questions are, what do the two switches do? One is on the circuit board, the other is wired in. The two red and black wires with the red connectors, which is which? I'm figuring one is for the battery, the other for the motor. So, is the female plug for the battery or the motor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Including removing the 'FlySky' receivers plastic casing.
Same here. Still waiting for the batteries. I'm installing one in an HO old Blue Box Atheran F7 A & B. The battery pack is a N/MHi 6 volt battery pack.

Thanks for the answer to what wires are what, I knew the three wires go to the receiver. Was confused as to the other two with the cable plug and socket. I figured that the switches are as you say. Just needed to confirm that. Thanks. Going to do the same with the connectors.

One thing that doesn't seem clear is the binding plug. On the pdf instruction sheet on this system it shows the binding plug plugged into where the battery power should be plugged into. What's your take on that?

The system looks OK to me but that "Capt. Kirk" phase pistol needs some fixin'. My buddy Dave and I just got a couple of old analog 27MHZ 2 stick transmitters (just what we wanted) on fleabay for $30 for the pair. Somebody had taken the battery contacts out and figured that "he" would scam a couple of old dudes. We installed Li-Po batteries in them and they both work like "burnin' hell". I was ready to build a new case for my old car transmitter but this satisfied me! (I must be really old for a transmitter to satisfy me...or crazy!)
